Honey Hollow Watershed

Honey Hollow Watershed is a district of five farms along Honey Hollow Brook near New Hope in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Its farmhouses and barns include stone dwellings from the early 18th century, one of them dated 1747 and cut into a stone wall, with corner fireplaces, poplar vertical sheathing, and over-door ventilators typical of early southeastern Pennsylvania English-type homes. The Forrest Crooks house and a stone barn are among the buildings photographed in restored condition. The farms are held by the Honey Hollow Watershed Association, whose members worked together on soil and water conservation. The land's management, documented through the Soil Conservation Service and local histories, is regarded as a significant example of watershed conservation. The property was recognized for its combination of colonial buildings and conservation history, which together form a single historic landscape in the Delaware River valley.
